\u201cIn everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.\u201d Proverbs 3:6 (TLB) <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever seen a husband and wife who don\u2019t put each other first? Perhaps the husband puts sports before his wife, or maybe the wife puts nights out with her friends before the needs of her husband. Regardless of what takes first place, if it isn\u2019t their spouse, you will find something seriously wrong in their marriage.<\/p>\n

For the person on the receiving end, they\u2019re not just second priority – they actually feel as if they\u2019re not a priority at all. That\u2019s what we call a dysfunctional marriage.<\/p>\n

When something is not in its rightful place, it becomes dysfunctional. It\u2019s the same in our relationship with God. The Bible is clear that God wants first place. He wants first place in our hearts – as we seek first the Kingdom, all these things shall be added to us. He wants first place in our finances – as we give our tithes first, we receive the promise that the rest shall be redeemed.<\/p>\n

When you don\u2019t honour these principles, your business, your relationships, your walk with Him and your finances will be dysfunctional. I want to encourage you today to put God first in every area. Seek Him first, and you will see a revival in every area of your life. Put Him first in your finances, and you will see a financial revival!<\/p>\n

Prophetic Declaration<\/p>\n

As I seek God first, my efforts are being crowned with success. Every dysfunctional area of my life is coming in line with the promises of God. My life is being revived, in the Name of Jesus Christ. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
